The candidates, having ceded their credibility and had their backbones removed by party spin doctors, were hiding.
Their masters did not want them to debate for fear they might commit a gaffe – that is, they might reveal they knew nothing about anything or something that could be politically damaging. (The horror.)
Their roles were simple and they needed to know them and stay mute: They were simply bullets loaded into a campaign gun so the Democrats could take over the state Senate and kill two...
On Thursday afternoon, on learning Rep. Joe Heck had made a cable TV buy, Erin Bilbray sent out a breathless email:
"Joe Heck just dropped $44,000 bucks on an attack ad against Erin that will air all across Southern Nevada next week!" it began, before the money pitch came.
Really? Is this just a reflex?
Anyone with any political experience -- Bilbray is from a political family and supposedly trains future elected officials -- would know an incumbent with a huge money advantage going on the air...

Remember how the UNLV folks boasted they already had enough table sponsors at $20,000 a pop to cover Hillary Clinton's $225,000 speaking fee?

Bank of America
Barnes & Noble College
Barrick Gold
Bennett Family Foundation
Cashman Equipment Company...
Good morning, everyone. Like many others, I have been thinking a lot about Robin Williams the last few days. Amid the sadness, let’s not forget he gave some truly memorably performances (like all prolific actors, he also did some awful movies), especially in “Good Will Hunting,” “Awakenings” and “Dead Poets Society.” The message of his death isn’t just what he told those kids in Dead Poets – carpe diem. It’s keep an eye, if you can, on those you care about, no matter what front they present to...
Good morning, everyone. Elon Musk’s company is making a major announcement here in Nevada on Wednesday, and you heard it here first. So what is the Tesla boss’s company announcing? Well, now that I have your blood pressure racing: It’s another one of his companies, SolarCity, “making a major new announcement and new jobs push--for installers, engineers, site surveyors and other ‘hard hat’ type jobs for the Las Vegas area.
